Conveyor System Designer

Conveyor Engineer

Lay out and engineer overhead and floor conveyor systems at the system level (power-and-free, enclosed track, chain-on-edge, skillet, roller, lift/transfer). Produce conveyor layouts, plan and elevation views, and sections in AutoCAD to customer and OEM CAD standards. Perform turn studies and clearance checks for carriers, loads, and product envelopes through curves, transfers, and elevation changes. Run chain pull calculations (CPPlus) under the guidance of a senior conveyor engineer; confirm drive sizing, take-up, and chain selection. Develop support steel and fit conveyor layouts to the customer's plant layout and building constraints. Provide the system definition component detailers work from; review detailed drawings for conformance (no component-level detailing). Incorporate markups and engineering changes; check and release drawings to customer standards. Coordinate with project engineers, controls, and installation teams; support site walks and field measurements.

Associate degree in Mechanical Design / Engineering Technology, or equivalent technical training and experience. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology preferred. 35 years of mechanical design experience, including 2+ years on conveyor or material handling systems. Expert-level AutoCAD: conveyor and plant layouts, sections, blocks and attributes, xrefs, layer and OEM CAD standards. Working understanding of conveyor chain pull calculations (CPPlus a plus, training provided); conveyor sections and exposure to turn studies. Solid understanding of conveyor system components: drives, take-ups, chain, carriers, curves, support steel. Preferred: automotive body shop, paint shop, or general assembly conveyors; OEM conveyor standards. Willing to travel occasionally. English (C1-C2)
